Excerpt
She had gotten home late, and Ariel and
Andrew were already in bed. After knocking on their doors, she quickly told
them goodnight, offering the excuse that she was tired and going to bed. The
truth of the matter was she didn’t want her teenage children to see her hair a
mess with the look of having had sex still plastered on her face.
Her night with Jace had been
incredible. So much so that the entire rest of the evening she lingered between
a daze induced by their lovemaking and the intense joy she felt from finally
connecting to someone. All of her years of being a loyal and loving wife, she
had no idea what she was missing.
She had loved Jonathon and was thankful
for the two beautiful children they’d had together. Still she couldn’t help but
feel a bit of remorse for all the years she had stayed in a marriage so blindly
thinking she knew what love was when she never felt an ounce for him as what
she was beginning to feel for Jace.
The phone rang, and she got up from her
place at the kitchen table. Her body was sore in places that she had forgotten
had muscles, causing her to walk a little slower than she normally would.
“Hello?”
“Morning, beautiful. How’d you sleep
last night?”
A smile spread across her face. “Jace.”
“Got it on the first try. Whew, and
here I was worried you might have forgotten about me,” he teased.
“Right. Yeah, it took me a second, but
the voice did sound familiar.”
He chuckled. “Good to know I leave such
a strong impression.”
All she could do was smile. He was so
charming and such a delight to be around that she couldn’t help but just get
lost in the moment with him.
“Umm…You still there?”
“Sorry. I was just thinking.”
“Ahh…good thoughts, I hope.”
She laughed. “Very good thoughts.”
“Nice. Score one for Jace.”
She laughed. “So, what can I do for
you?”
“Well, it is Friday. I was thinking
maybe you and I could go away for a couple of days. You know, spend time with
one another without me having to get you home before you turn into a pumpkin.”
“For anything to turn into a pumpkin,
this would have to be a fairy tale,” she teased, thoroughly enjoying the easy
banter that came so natural with him.
“Who says it’s not?”
“Oh, really? So, if this was a fairy
tale, which princess would I be?”
“Well, that all depends on you,
beautiful. Just pick your fairy tale, and I will become that Prince Charming
and make all your dreams come true.”
She giggled and shook her head. “You
are something else, Jace. Do you have a book of the sweetest things to say to
sweep a woman off of her feet?”
“A book? Surely you jest. Would it be
so hard to believe that I’m just that sweet?”
“Hmm…I suppose not. After all, you did
sweep me off my feet last night. Literally.”
They both laughed at her innuendo. It
was so easy to be herself with him. There was no pressure of trying to act a
certain way or say the right things. It was just…right.
“In that case, I’m not leaving it up
for debate. I’ll pick you up at seven. Pack light. Where we’re going you won’t
be needing a lot of clothes.”
“Is that right? Well, maybe I’ll bring
flannel pajamas and turtlenecks just to prove that you shouldn’t be too sure of
yourself.”
“Okay, but then I’ll be forced to burn
your suitcase.”
“Oh my goodness.” She laughed. “You are
relentless.”
His voice became serious. “When it
comes to getting what I want, I am very relentless. Listen, I gotta go, baby.
I’ll see you tonight. Can’t wait to see you again.”
She heard the click of the phone but
still just stood there for a moment allowing his words to sink in. Aside from
his charm and wit, he was at times so sincere that it gave her reason to just
slow down and listen to him intently. She turned to hang up the phone and
wondered if it was even possible.
To believe in fairy tales meant she
would have to believe in happily ever after. She long since gave up on those
the moment she caught her husband with another woman. During the divorce and
the time since then, she had resigned herself to the fact she would grow old
alone. She had her children, and she had managed to convince herself that was
all she needed.
Somehow though, in a matter of only a
couple of days, Jace Walker had taken her potential for a life of solitude and
all but thrown it out the window. She could analyze it and think of a list of
reasons as to why she should just walk away before she got hurt. She just
didn’t have it in her.
Dating Jace was fun and exciting. She
was experiencing new things. For all intents and purposes, she was finally living.
It hit her then that being a mother had its rewards, but for far too long she
had lived for only her children. Now it was for her.
“Well, Alexis. It looks like you better
take a long hot bath and get packed. Your Prince Charming will be here at seven
with the carriage.”
